buildx: make it easier to download precompiled binaries from other repos #136
Conversation

this is a re-roll of #127, but integrates better with the htc changes. i'm still not 100% sure how we should expose this in setup-buildx |
src/buildx/install.ts
Outdated
| public async download(version: string): Promise<string> { | ||
| const release: GitHubRelease = await Install.getRelease(version); | ||
| core.debug(`Install.download release tag name: ${release.tag_name}`); | ||
| public async download(version: string, owner?: string, repo?: string): Promise<string> { |

We don't need to change the signature imo. As said in previous PR we can just set version to a tagged release URL like https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/tag/v0.11.1.

We should not always rely on the API. We got many issues in the past doing this for GHES users: docker/setup-buildx-action#194 and also the API being broken: docker/setup-buildx-action#190. That's why we rely on the assets CDN instead.
So looking at my previous comment I think we should call getReleaseMetadata only if a tagged release URL is detected otherwise we rely on getRelease as before if semver (will download from vanilla repo docker/buildx).

So with this I think we should rename getRelease to getReleaseFromJSON and getReleaseMetadata to getReleaseFromAPI. WDYT?

actually, one sec, i'm going to update it to also support releases/latest |
After this change, callers can pass a release URL of the form: https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/tag/v0.11.1 and get the release binaries from the the github api. Signed-off-by: Nick Santos <[email protected]>
